Winter Sunrise on Mount Baldy and San Gabriel Valley

Winter Sunrise on Mount Baldy

Living in Southern California, we are blessed to have a variety of mountains within an hour’s drive away. They may not be as striking as their cousins to the north, the Sierra Nevada, but they have unique charms. I fondly remember day hikes, backpacks, and many other adventures on those local peaks. Additionally, for me, mornings like when I took “Winter Sunrise on Mount Baldy” are a good reminder that there are some wild and natural places near the urban […]

Busted Up Tidal Rock

Busted Up Tidal Rock

A serendipitous discovery wandering the beach after my original weekend photo trip was washed away by Hurricane Hillary in 2023. Lo and behold I found this patch of busted up tidal rock! This motif is a little rock patch at one of my favorite locations. The colors are what first drew me to this little patch, but the line patterns in the busted-up rocks keep me fixated on this particular composition. Visiting my local coastal rock formations has been a […]

Springtime, Vasquez Rocks

Springtime, Vasquez Rocks

An alternate title could have been “Springtime on the Planet Vulcan”. For those unfamiliar with Vasquez Rocks, you have more than likely seen it you just never knew the location’s name. Most likely you’ll recognize it from the countless movies, television shows, commercials, and music videos it has appeared in. Its location inside the Thirty-Mile Zone created by Hollywood labor unions to determine per diem rates made it a popular set for shows like Star Trek and many Westerns. Personally, […]

Adorned

Adorned

This past winter I was invited on a trip to the desert where we had a serendipitous moment. The sandstone in the area was adorned with a whitish-blue coating—like someone had brushed on blue sidewalk chalk throughout the region. The striking, at times subtle, contrasts of the blues paired with the red rock were incredible to behold in person and a pure joy to explore visually with my camera. In that moment I knew it would be impossible for one […]

Tumult #1

Tumult

It’s been a while since I have updated my website or made any social media posts, so I thought I’d give a quick update on what I have been up to. All the tumult and disruption in this current season of life forced me to put the photography part of my life on the back burner. These photos seemed to fit the contrasting calm and chaos of how my 2024 has gone. What seems so calm and tranquil is quickly […]

Reminiscing on My Favorites Photographs of 2023

I’m late again for my annual reflection on the past year of my photographic work. Hmmm, thinking through this some more I think we’ll go with “fashionably late” instead. Yeah, that sounds better! Anyways, 2023, it was quite the year. A year with a lot of new firsts! First and foremost Kim and I got married in March, which you can read all about, and our new family adventures here. There were some great outdoor adventures this year as we […]

Steadfast

Steadfast

This is on the shortlist of one of my favorite images this year. A scene I stumbled across as we were scouting for a good place to watch the Perseid meteor shower that evening.  As we explored the area I looked up to the hills and saw this lone Joshua Tree standing in front of a massive looming monsoonal thundercloud. It was such a striking moment. I knew as I captured it, I wanted to process it in black & […]
